Last week I had a chance to sit down with Jace from “The Comic Source” to talk about the behind-the-scenes of the past decade of Crushing Comics!
Our discussion including my approach to outlining comic guides, how I find the time to read thousands of comics a year, and why my focus is on opening gates rather than gatekeeping. Check out our full conversation on The Comic Source podcast or at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, Stitcher, and Google Play.

Never fear – we’ll catch up with videos on all of the X-Men comics out on 24 December and 31 December when we return in the new year.

It’s This Week in X for X-Force (2020) #15, released 16 December 2020!
X-Force (2020) #15, released on 16 December 2020, finds Ben Percy and Joshua Cassara returning to their pre-X-of-Swords plots to kick of Year 2 of the mutant intelligence division.
Is it a smooth transition? Why is everyone on both sides of X-Force so frustrated with Beast? And, what’s the newest deadly threat to our island paradise?
This week is driven by the question “What is X-Force?” – both meta-textually in terms of what the comic is delivering AND in the story when it comes to what X-Force is meant to do for Krakoa.

It’s This Week in X for New Mutants (2019) #14, released 16 December 2020!
New Mutants (2019) #14 is the debut of Vita Ayala as our new regular writer, and they bring a classic New Mutants cast plagued by bad dreams but determined to show young Krakoans that there is magic in the synergy between them. But, can they save Krakoa’s youth from what lurks in the shadows…?
We dig into the new rules of Krakoan society, the duality of Shadow King, the team’s bad dreams, failed synergy, plus our new segment: “Honey Badger Do Care About The Ethics of Resurrection”
